Victoria Falls Zimbabwe Safari: FAQs

/01

Where is Victoria Falls located?

+
Victoria Falls is located on the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia in Southern Africa and a visit to this spectacular natural wonder is often combined with a luxury Zimbabwe safari. The mighty Zambezi River, which forms the boundary between Zimbabwe and Zambia, plunges over a wide gorge, creating one of the world’s longest and most spectacular falls.
/02

Why should I visit Victoria Falls?

+
Victoria Falls is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the world’s top safari destinations. The massive spray and thundering noise the falls make as water from the Zambezi River plunges over the wide gorge is an awe-inspiring sight. With its immense beauty and sheer power, it’s no wonder Victoria Falls is also one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World – an absolutely unmissable destination for any traveler.
/03

When is the best time to visit Victoria Falls?

+
March to June is considered the best time to view Victoria Falls, as it is at its fullest with massive water flow, dramatic spray, and a thunderous sound as the water tumbles over the gorge. However, the intense spray limits visibility, so during these months, the falls are best viewed from afar.

For those seeking a close-up experience, the best time is from July to September, when the water flow is lower and the spray is less intense, making it easier to see the entire face of the falls. Additionally, wildlife viewing is at its peak in the nearby national parks.

October to December is ideal for thrill-seekers. During the low-water season, you can enjoy activities like white-water rafting and swimming at the edge of the falls in the aptly named Devil’s Pool. However, the falls may not look as impressive, as parts dry up, especially on the Zambian side.

Our luxury safari specialists can advise on the best time to visit Victoria Falls based on your desired experience.
/04

Can I visit Victoria Falls Town during a Victoria Falls safari?

+
Yes, Victoria Falls Town and nearby Livingstone can both be visited.

Victoria Falls Town is known as a hub for adventure activities, such as bungee jumping, white-water rafting, and helicopter flights, which offer sweeping views of the falls and the surrounding landscape.
